PREFACE TO THE SERVICES. 



THE Selections from the Scriptures in the thirty-four Regular Services 
herein contained, together with the Superintendent's Readings which 
precede them, make up a history of the life of the Saviour as recorded in 
the four Gospels. The Revised Version — a few marginal readings being 
made use of — has been uniformly followed. Each service has a Respon- 
sive Reading, a Chant, a Prayer, and a Hymn, which are selected or 
written with reference to its Selection from the Scriptures. Thus each 
service, as well as the whole series, is a unit. 

It was thought best that the Regular Services should all be formed 
upon a single model; and the content and length of the model service 
were such as seemed, by the acceptance given to various service-books 
now in use, to be adapted to the taste of the largest number of schools. 
In using one of these Services, the Sunday School as a body will take 
part in all except the Superintendent's Reading, reading in concert the 
Responses, the Selection from the Scriptures, and the Prayer, and singing 
together the Chant and the Hymn. 

Services for Special Occasions and for the Infant Class have also been 
inserted. The Infant Class Services are founded upon the Gospel record 
of the Saviour's childhood, and have been prepared by one who for many 
years has had charge of a large primary class. The suggestion that ser- 
vices for the closing of the School be added, was not acted upon, because 
it was the general opinion that the most fitting closing service consists of 
the singing of a hymn, the repeating in unison of the Lord's Prayer, and 
a benediction by the Pastor. 

For suggestions, advice, and contributions to the devotional part of the 
Services, the Editor gratefully acknowledges his obligation to his brother- 
clergymen. And he now sends " The Redeemer " forth upon its mission 



VI PREFACE. 

to the School, the Church, and the Home, with the prayerful hope that it 
may help to bring nearer to the hearts of men Christ and his blessed work 
in the world. 

J. J. LEWIS. 



PREFACE TO THE MUSIC. 



THERE will be found in " The Redeemer " several English tunes 
which have already become more or less popular in Sunday 
Schools. With these in mind as models, the Compiler's original work has 
been done. Three things in particular, suggested by a study into the 
elements of popularity in the English tunes, he has sought for in selecting 
and writing, — 

First, that each tune should have a melody which even children can 

appreciate and remember ; 
Second, that the three lower parts should move, except between chords 

very closely related, by the smallest skips in the diatonic scale ; 
Third, that all modulations should be carefully prepared : 

and he believes that singers who can sing concerted music at all will have 
no difficulty in sustaining the parts of the tunes, — provided that pianists 
and organists will take care to render all the parts as they are written. 

The hymns have been collected from many sources; a few of them 
appearing here for the first time in connection with music. 

Grateful acknowledgment is made to the Rev. C. L. Hutchins, of Med- 
ford, to E. P. Dutton & Co., and to the Editor of "The Gloria" for 
permission to use hymns and tunes. The Compiler's indebtedness to 
Rev. H. G. Spaulding's admirable Unitarian collection is indicated by 
foot-notes to the several hymns taken from that source. ~ J*

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THE people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. 
They that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light 
shined. 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. 

The government shall be upon his shoulder : and his name shall be called Won- 
derful, Counsellor ', Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end. 
The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

ABOUT thirty years before Jesus was born, the entire world then known was 
united into one nation, with its capital at Rome. Augustus Caesar, nephew 
of the great Julius Caesar, was Emperor. He reigned until Jesus was fourteen 
years old. Tiberius Caesar, his stepson, succeeded him, and was still on the throne 
when Jesus was crucified. . . . All the provinces were heavily taxed to support 
the government. These are the words of the decree which caused Joseph and 
Mary to be in Bethlehem when Jesus was born : " Go ye up every man unto his 
own natal city, there to be enrolled. It is the command of Caesar." 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

NOW it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar 
Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrol- 
ment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to enroll them- 
selves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of 
the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, 



THE BIRTH OF JESUS. 3 

because he was of the house and family of David, to enroll himself with Mary ; 
and Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king. 

And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keep- 
ing watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and 
the glory of the Lord shone round about them : and they were sore afraid. And 
the angel said unto them, Be not afraid ; for behold, I bring you good tidings of 
great joy which shall be to all the people : for there is born to you this day in the 
city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you ; 
Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And 
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, 
and saying, 

Glory to God in the highest, 

And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

PRAYER. 



OUR Father who art in heaven, Let thy blessing rest upon us, as, in the 
services of our Sunday School, we begin the story of his life who first taught 
the world thus to call upon thee in prayer. As we visit in thought the lowly birth- 
place of Jesus, may we feel that thou art with the humblest among us as well as 
with those of highest station ; and here and now, as long ago in Bethlehem, may 
there be rejoicing among those who love us in heaven, over the birth anew in our 
hearts of the Christ-spirit. May all the future services of our school be filled with 
that spirit. In it may we study our lessons ; and in it may we go forth to put into 
faithful practice the truth those lessons teach us. O Father divine, help us to 
order our daily lives so like the life of Jesus that in childhood, youth, maturity, 
and old age, we shall ever be giving thee highest glory, bringing peace on earth, 
and extending the gracious reign of good-will amongst men. In the name of Jesus 
we ask all. Amen.

Jesus presented to ttje Eoriu 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

OFEAR the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear 
him. 
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger : but they that seek the Lord shall not 
want any good thing. 

Come, ye children, hearken unto me : I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good ? 
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 
Depart from evil, and do good ; seek peace, and pursue it. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

IN the Jewish Church, of which Joseph and Mary were members, there was a 
religious ceremony called " Presentation to the Lord." It was something like 
the Christian service called " Christening and Dedication of Children." So the 
first journey the baby Jesus took was to the Temple at Jerusalem, forty days after 
his birth. 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were 
fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord. 
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon ; and this 
man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy 
Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that 



JESUS PRESENTED TO THE LORD. 7 

he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came in 
the Spirit into the temple : and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that 
they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, then he received him 
into his arms, and blessed God, and said, 

Now lettest thou thy servant depart, O Lord, 

According to thy word, in peace ; 

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples ; 

A light for revelation to the Gentiles, 

And the glory of thy people Israel. 

And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken 
concerning him ; and Simeon blessed them. And there was one Anna, a proph- 
etess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher ; and coming up at that very 
hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of Jesus to all them that were looking 
for the redemption of Jerusalem.

PRAYER. 

OTHOU to whom all our powers ought to be dedicated, Accept our offering 
of praise for the consecration to thee of the child Jesus. May the thought 
of his being taken to the Temple make our own church seem more precious and 
sacred in our sight. May each time we come here be a step in the same path he 
trod toward a good life. Keep, O Father, thy little children of our school so like 
the child Jesus that all good men and women who look for blessing to come to the 
world shall see its fair promise in their young lives. And day by day may they 
live so kindly that their fathers and mothers shall hear of the good things spoken 
of them with joyous wonder. And by thy Holy Spirit move, we pray thee, parents 
everywhere to take their children each Sunday up to the services in thine earthly 
temples. Thus together may old and young worship thee ; and together may they 
learn of the Master how to serve thee aright. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the 
shadow of the Almighty. 

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress ; my God, in whom 
I trust. 

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome 
pestilence. 

He shall cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings thou shall take 
refuge. 

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth 
by day. 

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand ; but it 
shall not come nigh thee. 

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy 
ways. 

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a 
stone. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

PALESTINE, including Peraea east of the Jordan, and Judaea, Samaria, and 
Galilee west of the Jordan, was one of the provinces of the Roman Empire. 
Herod the Great was king. When the Wise Men of the East, after their visit to 
Jesus, did not return to their homes by way of Jerusalem, as Herod had asked 
them to do, he issued a cruel decree that all the children in Bethlehem younger 
than two years of age should be put to death ; for he feared that Jesus would grow 
up to be king in place of his sons. 



THE WARNING AND THE FLIGHT. 



II 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 



NOW when the wise men were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord 
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child 
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee : for Herod 
will seek the young child to destroy him. And he arose and took the young child 
and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt ; and was there until the death 
of Herod. 

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream 
to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go 
into the land of Israel : for they are dead that sought the young child's life. And 
he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of 
Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room 
of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither ; and being warned of God in a 
dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, and came and dwelt in a city called 
Nazareth : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, that he 
should be called a Nazarene. 

And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom : and the grace of 
God was upon him.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

EVER watchful Father, We bless thee that in thy love for us and thy children 
everywhere thou dost never slumber nor sleep • that in the darkness as well 
as in the light thou art keeping us from dangers seen and unseen. May it be our 
purpose to make our future lives of such value that thou mayst deem us worthy 
to be delivered from all possible harm. We thank thee that thou art the same 
care-taking God yesterday, to-day, and forever, and that thou art guarding us and 
our loved ones just as tenderly as thou didst Jesus and his parents. But, O Father, 
lead us to be as quick to hear thy voice and to see thy blessed angels of love about 
us as were they. May our parents and teachers, led by thee, seek to guide us to 
those places where we shall live the safest and most sheltered lives ; and as we 
grow older, may we grow stronger in every good quality. May our minds be filled 
with true wisdom ; and, with thy grace upon us, may our daily lives, however 
lowly, give thee honor and glory. Amen.

14 THE REDEEMER, 



IV. 

Jesus tottij tije WLise JEeiu 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

HOW amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts ! 
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord. 

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house : they will be still praising thee. 

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the highways to 
Zion. 

They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God 
in Zion. 

A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. 

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the 
tents of wickedness. 

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WHEN Herod died, his three sons succeeded to his dominion. Archela'us 
had Judaea and Samaria ; An'tipas had Peraea and Galilee ; Philip, the most 
humane of the brothers, had the country to the north and east of Galilee and the 
Lake of Genne'saret. When, twenty-seven years afterward, Jesus began to teach, 
Herod Antipas and Herod Philip were still ruling in their respective provinces \ 
but Herod Archelaus had been banished for his cruelty, and Pontius Pilate, a 
Roman, had been appointed in his place. During this period all we hear of Jesus 
is the account of his visit to Jerusalem with his parents one passover season. 



JESUS WITH THE WISE MEN.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND the parents of Jesus went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the 
passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the 
custom of the feast ; and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, 
the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and his parents knew it not ; but 
supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey ; and they sought 
for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance : and when they found him not, 
they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. And it came to pass, after three 
days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hear- 
ing them, and asking them questions : and all that heard him were amazed at his 
understanding and his answers. And when they saw him, they were astonished : 
and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us ? behold, thy 
father and I sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye 
sought me ? wist ye not that I must be in my Father's house ? And they under- 
stood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, 
and came to Nazareth ; and he was subject unto them : and his mother kept all 
these sayings in her heart. 

And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

OTHOU eternal God, to whom worship is due, We thank thee for the 
blessed example which the parents of Jesus set us in taking their son to 
the temple in which, in the olden time, thou wert worshipped. O turn the hearts 
of parents everywhere to thy church, that they may take their children in like 
manner to its life-giving services. May the influence and instruction of these 
services sink deep into the hearts and minds of all, giving larger wisdom, and 
helping to live in favor with God and men. Inspire all who love the sanctuary 
to hallow it with thoughts of thee and thy love ; that it may seem indeed to be 
their Heavenly Father's house. In it may the young learn to be subject to their 
parents by first being obedient to thee. By the movings of thy gracious spirit fill 
the hearts of all thy children with a desire to know thee ; yea, like Jesus among 
the teachers in the temple, may they find their truest joy in the study of questions 
concerning thee and a good life. As learners all, we humbly ask guidance of thee 
who art the Fountain of all wisdom. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THE voice oi one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the 
Lord, 
Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low : 
And the crooked shall be made straight, a?id the rough places plain, 
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: 
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

JOHN — surnamed " The Baptist " because he baptized his disciples — was the 
son of Zachari'as, a Jewish priest, and Elizabeth, a relative of Mary, the 
mother of Jesus. He was six months older than Jesus. When he was 
about thirty years of age he began to preach in the region around the Jordan, 
just above the Dead Sea. 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of 
Judaea, saying, Repent ye ; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this 
is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 
Make ye ready the way of the Lord, 
Make his paths straight. 



THE BAPTISM. 



19 



Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about 
his loins ; and his food was locusts and wild honey. And he came into all the 
region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of 
sins. Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round 
about Jordan ; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their 
sins. 

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 
But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, 
and comest thou to me ? But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now : for 
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. And 
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water : and lo, the 
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, 
and coming upon him ; and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

OTHOU infinite and eternal Being, who dost inspire and direct all work 
done in the world for the salvation of thy children, We thank thee for the 
Gospel of Jesus. As we read to-day of the beginnings of that Gospel, may we be 
taught many helpful lessons. May we see that, though the years of childhood 
and youth are quiet and uneventful, yet if during them children are reverent and 
obedient, the time shall come when, led by thee, they go forth to do good work in 
the world. Teach us that it matters not whether we prepare the way for others, 
or walk in it ourselves ; since all faithfulness helps the coming of thy kingdom. 
Teach us also to observe with sincerity the rites and forms of the Church ; and 
may we join in them so heartily, and be so faithful in our daily service for thee 
and our fellow-men, that we may indeed be thy beloved children, in whom thou 
shalt be well pleased. In the name of thy best beloved son Jesus we ask all. 
Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

LESSED is the man that endureth temptation : 

For when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life. 
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God : 
For God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man. 
Whosoever would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. 
Be subject therefore unto God; 
But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

BY being baptized, Jesus became a disciple of John. After passing through 
the experience called " The Temptation in the Wilderness," he returned to 
John. Here four of his future disciples — James and John, Andrew and Peter — 
came to him, and he became a teacher himself. 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

THEN was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the 
devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward 
hungered. And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God,

command that these stones become bread. But he answered and said, It is written, 
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the 
mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him into the holy city ; and he set him on 
the pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast 
thyself down : for it is written, 

He shall give his angels charge concerning thee : 
And on their hands they shall bear thee up, 
Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 
Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him 
all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ; and he said unto him, All 
these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith 
Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the 
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him ; and 
behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

PRAYER. 

OTHOU to whom Jesus taught us to pray, Lead us not into temptation, May 
we feel thee ever at hand to guide and help us as we are called upon to 
meet the temptations of daily life. In the hour when danger is greatest, fix our 
hearts upon him who came off more than conqueror in the wilderness; and in his 
spirit may we triumph over all that tries us. Keep ever with us, we pray thee, 
the thought that it is not for our own happiness only that we should keep ourselves 
free from evil ; that the happiness also of those who love us depends on our being 
pure and upright. Inspired by this thought and by the example of the Saviour, 
may we, O Father in heaven, ever be found worthy of the love and respect of the 
good. And when the hour of trial is past, send to us thy ministering spirits of 
peace and content; and may we find their presence so grateful that we shall be 
moved to make our hearts their eternal dwelling-place. In his name who hath been 
in all points tempted as we are, but was without sin, we ask all. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

JUDGE me, O Lord, for I have walked in mine integrity : I have trusted also in 
the Lord -without wavering. 
Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes ; and I have walked in thy truth. 
I have not sat with vain persons ; neither will I go in with dissemblers. 
I hate the congregation of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked, 
I will wash my hands in innocency ; so will I compass thine altar, O Lord. 
Lord, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

JESUS, in company with two pairs of brothers, James and John, Andrew and 
Peter, started homeward to Nazareth. On the way they met another future 
disciple of Jesus, Philip. Arriving at Nazareth, they found that the family of 
Jesus were attending a wedding at Cana. Going thither, Jesus wrought his first 
miracle, and met Nathanael, another of his future disciples. From here, they all 
went to Capernaum, a city upon the Lake of Gennesaret. But after a few days' 
stay the company proceeded to Jerusalem to attend the passover. 



JESUS AT THE PASSOVER. 



27 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 
And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and 
the changers of money sitting : and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out 
of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen ; and he poured out the changers' 
money, and overthrew their tables ; and to them that sold the doves he said, Take 
these things hence ; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. 

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews : 
the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art 
a teacher come from God : for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except 
God be with him. 

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea ; and 
there he tarried with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in ^Enon 
near to Salim, because there was much water there : and they came, and were 
baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison.

THE REDEEMER, 



PRAYER. 

OTHOU to whom no worship is acceptable that is not sincere, no service 
pleasing that is not unselfish, Teach us, we pray thee, how to worship and 
serve thee aright. May we seek to make the places where we meet to worship thee 
worthy in every way of thy presence. Hallow them to us by such tender and 
precious associations that we shall be ashamed to defile them with selfish thoughts 
and purposes. Free us also, we pray thee, from any reluctance to profess openly 
our wish to follow the master, Jesus ; and lead us, filled with thy good spirit, to 
follow him boldly in the full light of labor's busy day, as well as in the quiet hours 
of our church and home life. May our desire to serve thee, O God, through 
learning of Jesus and living like him, be so warm in our hearts that as with John, 
so with us, the question shall be ever present, How best can Christ be exalted as 
the true Saviour of the world ? Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

WHITHER shall I go from thy spirit ? or whither shall I flee from thy pres- 
ence? 

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, 
thou art there. 

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ; 

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me 
shall be night ; 

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day ; the 
darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

JESUS devoted the next six months after the passover to a mission through 
Judaea. So successful was this mission that the disciples of John the Baptist 
became jealous. But John did not share their feelings, and quickly allayed 
their jealousy by declaring that Jesus was the Christ, to prepare the people for 
whom he himself was teaching. ... At the conclusion of his journey through 
Judaea, Jesus went home to Nazareth by way of Samaria. 



JESUS AT THE WELL. 



31 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

SO he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground 
that Jacob gave to his son Joseph : and Jacob's well was there. Jesus 
therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the 
sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water : Jesus saith unto 
her, Give me to drink. For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy 
food. The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being 
a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman ? (For Jews have no dealings 
with Samaritans.) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of 
God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink ; thou wouldest have asked 
of him, and he would have given thee living water. Woman, believe me, the hour 
cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the 
Father. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall 
worship the Father in spirit and truth : for such doth the Father seek to be his 
worshippers. God is a Spirit : and they that worship him must worship in spirit 
and truth.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

OUR Father who art in heaven, With hearts thirsting for the truth we come 
to thee. Give us, we pray thee, to drink of thy spirit. May it cause a well 
of living water to spring up in our souls whenever we are called upon to tread some 
dry and weary path of life. As Jesus, sitting by the wayside well, taught the woman 
of Samaria how to come to the fountain of thy spirit and drink, so may we teach 
those we meet in daily life. Teach us, O Father, and through us teach others how 
to worship thee in spirit and in truth. May we feel that thou dost seek such to 
worship thee, and only such, no matter of what race or church they are. While it 
may be easy to worship thee thus in the seclusion of our church, may we not find 
it difficult to draw nigh unto thee amidst the noise and bustle of daily life. And 
hasten the day, we pray thee, when thy children everywhere shall unite in thy true 
worship. In the name of him who is the way, the truth, and the life, we ask all. 
Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THE wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad ; and the desert shall 
rejoice, and blossom like the rose. 

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. 

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be 
unstopped. , 

Theii shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing : 
for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 

And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of 
water : in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds 
and rushes. 

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion ; 
and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads : they shall obtain gladness and joy, and 
sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AFTER his conversation with the woman at Jacob's Well, Jesus came to his 
home in Nazareth. He had not hitherto appeared before his neighbors 
and friends in his office as the Christ. The following Sunday he announced his 
mission from the pulpit of his home synagogue. 






THE RETURN TO NAZARETH. 



35 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, 
and stood up to read. And there was* delivered unto him the book of the 
prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written, 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, , 

Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor : 

He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, 

And recovering of sight to the blind, 

To set at liberty them that are bruised, 

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. 

And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down : and the 
eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto 
them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. And they were all 
filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things ; and they rose up, 
and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon 
their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But he passing 
through the midst of them went his way.

PRAYER. 

THOU infinite Spirit, We thank thee for that love by which thou hast revealed 
thyself to thy children. Thou speakest to our understanding, but thou 
speakest also to our hearts, and we know thee as Father and Friend. Thou 
followest us evermore with thy love, and thou never forgettest us. We may trust 
that thou wilt be our strength in weakness, our joy in gladness, our hope in sorrow, 
and our sure refuge in every time of trouble- With what love hast thou given us 
a Saviour who is able to cure all infirmities and heal all diseases. Oh, may we 
be healed, through faith in him, of all moral disease, and made pure in heart. 
Through him may we forsake all sin, and learn the blessedness of purity. Forget- 
ting the sorrowful past, may we look toward the brightening future. Rising from 
the ground of despair, may we set our faces toward the sky and go forward in the 
upward way of life ; and at every step may we have the full consciousness that 
Jesus is our guide, and will at last lead us out of the wilderness into the Promised 
Land, where we shall dwell for evermore. Amen.

Jesus at Capernaum. 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

I SOUGHT the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 
They looked unto him, and were lightened ; and their faces shall never be con- 
founded. 

The righteous cried, and the Lord heard, and delivered them out of all their 
troubles. 

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a h'oken heart, and saveth such as be of 
a contrite spirit. 

Many are the afflictions of the righteotis ; but the Lord delivereth him out of 
them all. 

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants ; and none of them that trust in him 
shall be cofidemned. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

THE unfavorable reception which his preaching met at Nazareth caused Jesus 
to make the city of Capernaum his home. On his way thither through 
Galilee, he stopped once more at Cana. Here a nobleman from Capernaum met 
him, with the request that his son, lying sick in that city, might be healed. The 
nobleman manifested so great faith that Jesus granted his request. At Capernaum, 
learning that Herod Antipas had arrested and imprisoned John the Baptist at 
Tiberias, eight miles south of Capernaum, Jesus and his disciples separate for a 
while, — probably to await a more favorable time to begin their work. Jesus goes to 
Jerusalem for his second passover. When he heals the helpless man at the Pool 
of Bethesda, the Pharisees charge him with breaking the Sabbath. He determines 
now to return to Capernaum, to recall his disciples, and openly to begin his work 
as the Christ. 



JESUS AT CAPERNAUM. 



39 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

NOW after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the 
gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God 
is at hand : repent ye, and believe in the gospel. 

And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother 
of Simon casting a net in the sea : for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto 
them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And 
straightway they left the nets, and followed him. And going on a little further, he 
saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat 
mending the nets. And straightway he called them : and they left their father 
Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 

And they go into Capernaum ; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered 
into the synagogue and taught. And they were astonished at his teaching : for he 
taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

PRAYER. 

OTHOU who didst send Jesus and his chosen disciples out to win all to 
health, to happiness, and to thee, Prepare us, we pray thee, by our work 
and our study in this school for a like mission. As we journey through the 
coming days, may we be able to lead those whom we meet in the various walks of 
life, by word and example, to better and higher things. May they feel obliged to 
listen to what we have to say because, taught of thee, we have truth and a good 
life for our authority. O thou who art ceaselessly busy working out blessings for 
all, make us so like thyself that we shall never be idle in the service of our fellow- 
men. Straightway upon our going from this place may we seek to call the sorrow- 
ful to comfort, the sick to a cheerful bearing of their burdens, the weak to strength. 
In the name of the great teacher we ask all. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

GIVE ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. 
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for unto thee do I 
pray. 

O Lord, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice ; in the morning will I 
order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch. 

As for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house : 
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 

Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, 
because thou defendest them : 

Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 

For thou wilt bless the righteous : 

O Lord, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

NOT long after Jesus had recalled his five disciples, he accepted an invitation 
to preach in the synagogue at Capernaum. At this service he healed an 
insane man who was interrupting his preaching. From the synagogue he went 
home with Peter, and healed Peter's wife's mother, and many others. Indeed, 
whenever Jesus was in Capernaum, he was beset by multitudes beseeching him to 
exercise that wonderful power of healing which he had now fully manifested.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and 
departed into a desert place, and there prayed. And Simon and they 
that were with him followed after him ; and they found him, and say unto him, All 
are seeking thee. And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next 
towns, that I may preach there also ; for to this end came I forth. And he went 
into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out devils. 

And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that 
he was in the house. And many were gathered together, so that there was no 
longer room for them, no, not even about the door : and he spake the word unto 
them. And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four. 
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the 
roof where he was : and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed 
whereon the sick of the palsy lay. And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the 
sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven. Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto 
thy house. And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before 
them all ; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never 
saw it on this fashion.

PRAYER. 

OTHOU infinite and almighty One, by whose power all things were created 
and are sustained ; whose mighty energy is manifest in the movements of 
the heavenly bodies, the laws of Nature, and the revelations of thy Spirit ; We 
rejoice that thou dost work in us to draw our souls to thee and to fashion us after 
thine own image. We thank thee also for the example of thy son) who came 
to the world as a worker, to help men in their weakness, and to restore them to 
health and strength. We rejoice in his power to help the helpless, and behold in 
it a pledge of his power to heal our spiritual diseases and to restore us to perfect 
soundness. We thank thee that to him no day nor place was too sacred for the 
exercise of his merciful kindness, that he regarded duty and humanity as above 
the traditions and commands of men. May his spirit rest upon us, filling us with 
sympathy for the sick, devotion to duty, and love toward all. Amen.

Jesus ipttll tyz publicans- 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

WHEN ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for they 
disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. 
Verily I say u?ito you, They have received their reward. 

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face ; that thou 
be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father which is in secret : 
And thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee. 
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : 
A broke?i and a cofitrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

OF the first mission of Jesus through the towns and cities of Galilee there is 
no event recorded except the healing of a leper. The cure in Capernaum 
of the man sick of the palsy drew about him an immense number of people from 
all parts of the country. Some of the Pharisees from Jerusalem were there as 
spies. One Sabbath during this time, while he and his disciples were going 
through a wheat-field, they, being hungry, took some of the wheat to eat. In 
answer to the charge of the Pharisees that they were breaking the Sabbath, Jesus 
replied : " The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at 
the place of toll : and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and 
followed him. 

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and 
sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees 



JESUS WITH THE PUBLICANS. 



47 



saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with the publicans and 
sinners ? But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a 
physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what this meaneth, I desire 
mercy, and not sacrifice : for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 

Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees 
fast oft, but thy disciples fast not ? And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of 
the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them ? but the 
days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then 
will they fast.

PRAYER. 



HOLY and gracious Father, Bless us, we pray thee, as we come together to be 
taught of our master, Jesus. May we feel that he is calling upon us to 
follow him now, as he called upon his own disciples long ago. And may we arise 
and leave all that keeps us from being good and doing right, and follow him 
wherever he may lead. O place within our hearts his pure and kindly spirit, that 
the rough and sinful we meet in the world may not harm us. And free us, we 
pray, from all manner of deceit. May we be enabled to show to others that in

order to be truly religious it is not necessary to be sad or to deprive ourselves of 
anything that is good for us. May we be ever ready to weep with those that weep, 
as well as to rejoice with those that rejoice. To the house of feasting may we bear 
a cheerful face ; to the place of mourning may we go with words of comfort and 
hope. So bless us, and others through us, until all shall know thee as thou art. 
Amen.

ftije Sermon on ttje Mount 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

BLESS the Lord, O my soul ; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits ; 

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ; who healeth all thy diseases ; 

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction ; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness 
and tender mercies. 

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 

For he knoweth our frame ; he remembereth that we are dust. 

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts ; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 

Bless the Lord, all ye his works, in all places of his dominion : bless the Lord, O my 
soul. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AFTER Matthew had been called to be one of the disciples, he made a feast 
in honor of Jesus. From this feast Jefeus was summoned to call the dead 
daughter of Jairus back to life. Soon afterward he went across the lake and 
among the mountains in Herod Philip's dominion. Here he formally selected his 

twelve disciples, and gave them the Sermon on the Mount The names 

of the twelve were Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, 
Thomas, James the less, Simon the zealot, Judas the son of James, and Judas 
Iscariot. 



THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. 



5» 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain : and when he had 
sat down, his disciples came unto him : and he opened his mouth and 
taught them, saying, 

Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be 
filled. 

Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God. 

Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called sons of God. 

Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs 
is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and 
persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, 
and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so persecuted 
they the prophets who were before you.

PRAYER. 

HOLY and ever-blessed Father, We thank thee for the words of Jesus. In 
them thy voice is ever speaking to thy children. We bless thee that that 
voice teaches us to love goodness and mercy and forgiveness and truth. We 
thank thee for our Sunday-school ; that by it we can come unto the Master as did 
the disciples of old. At every service may it seem to us that we are gathering 
about him to be taught of thy will and thy way. Give us of thy spirit, that day by 
day we may obtain the blessings he promised to the pure in heart and the good in 
life. May our faith in thee and in thy protecting power be so firm, and our fidelity 
to the teachings of Jesus so great, that we shall not fall when storms of trouble 
and pain beat upon us. Be thou, our Father, the rock of our faith. Looking to 
Jesus as our guide, we ask all. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imfiuteth not iniquity, and in whose 
spirit there is no guile, 

I will bless the Lord at all times : his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord : the meek shall hear thereof, and be 
glad. 

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants : and none of them that trust in him 

shall be condemned. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

FROM teaching his disciples on the mount, Jesus went to Nain, a city twenty- 
five miles southwest of Capernaum, and five miles from Nazareth. Here 
he raised the widow's son. Here also he received a deputation from the im- 
prisoned John, asking if he was the Messiah. He pointed John's disciples to his 
works as proof of his Messiahship. 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he 
entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And behold, a 
woman who was in the city, a sinner ; and when she knew that he was sitting at 
meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment, and 
standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and 
wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with

the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had bidden him saw it, he spake 
within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who 
and what manner of woman this is which toucheth him, that she is a sinner. And 
Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he 
saith, Master, say on. A certain lender had two debtors : the one owed five hun- 
dred pence, and the other fifty. When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave 
them both. Which of them therefore will love him most ? Simon answered and 
said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.

PRAYER. 

O FATHER divine, Thee we worship, and before thee we bow down our souls. 
Conscious of our feebleness, our ignorance, our imperfections, we come to 
thee for strength and wisdom and help, that we may live aright. We thank thee 
that thou hast revealed thyself to us in all the Bible as a loving and a merciful 
Father ; that thy tender mercies are over all thy works ; that when we are in trouble 
or have done wrong, we need not fear to turn to thee, for thy mercy endureth for- 
ever. But we thank thee most of all for the revelation of thy gentle and forgiving 
spirit in Jesus. O Father, open our eyes, we pray thee, to all that we are doing that is

wrong in thy sight and harmful to ourselves. Turn us to thee in sincere repent- 
ance ; and as we ask thee to forgive us our sins against thee, may we learn the 
lesson of forgiveness toward all who have sinned against us. O may we forgive as 
we would like to be forgiven. And as gratitude to thee for thy love and mercy 
fills our hearts, may the Saviour's spirit of charity rule all our actions toward one 
another. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THEY that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters ; 
These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves 
thereof. 

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths : their soul melteth 
away because of trouble. 

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' 
end. 

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their 
distresses. 

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 

Then are they glad because they be quiet ; so he bringeth them unto the haven 
where they would be. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

FROM Nain Jesus returned to Capernaum. Such numbers of people assem- 
bled to listen to him that he took a boat, and, moving a little way from the 
shore, spoke to the multitude. At this time he gave the following parables : The 
Sower and the Seed, The Grain of Mustard-Seed, The Wheat and the Tares, The 
Hidden Treasure, The Pearl of Great Price, and The Net. 



STILLING THE TEMPEST.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over 
unto the other side. And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, 
even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And there ariseth 
a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat 
was now rilling. And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion : and they 
awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish ? And he 
awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the 
wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye 
fearful ? have ye not yet faith ? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to 
another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him ?

PRAYER. 

OUR Father who art in heaven, We adore thee for that compassionate love 
which thou didst manifest to the world through Jesus, the Christ ; that 
thou didst send him to be king in the realm of the spirit, and to make the way 
plain by which that kingship is achieved. We thank thee that in spirit and in will 
thou and he were one. In the power of this perfect union with " his Father and our 
Father, with his God and our God," was he enabled to speak peace to his disciples, 
distressed and toiling on the stormy sea ; to cure all the hurts of soul and body in 
the thronging multitude which pressed to touch the hem of his garment; to impart 
his own good cheer to their anxious and sorrowful hearts. We pray that we may 
find that sure union with thee which shall make it possible for us, in all times of 
cloud or storm, to hear a divine voice assuring us of near and sympathetic help. 
And may thy peace so invest us that we shall come into fellowship with his victo- 
rious spirit who "for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the 
shame." Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

SO teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom. 
Return, O Lord; how long 2 and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 
O satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy ; that we may rejoice and be glad 
all our days. 

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us ', and the years 
wherein we have seen evil. 

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory upon their children. 
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us : and establish thou the work 
of our hands upon us ; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AFTER stilling the tempest Jesus landed at Gadara, on the eastern shore of 
Gennesaret. Here he healed the demoniac, and here also occurred the 
incident of the drowning of the swine. Besought by the people to leave their 
country, he returned to Capernaum, and for the second and last time went to his 
old home at Nazareth. The people there heard him with astonishment, but he 
could do no great work because of their unbelief. He now sent out his disciples 
on a mission, while he himself went through the surrounding country teaching and 
healing.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND Jesus called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two 
and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits; and he 
charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only ; no 
bread, no wallet, no money in their purse ; but to go shod with sandals : and, said 
he, put not on two coats. And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a 
house, there abide till ye depart thence. And whatsoever place shall not receive 
you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under 
your feet for a testimony unto them. And they went out, and preached that men 
should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that 
were sick, and healed them.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

ETERNAL One, Inspirer of good, Impart to us thine own life. May the mind 
that was in Christ be in us. As he gave power of old to his disciples to 
overcome the evil of the world, to tread upon hatred, lies, envies ; as he enabled 
his chosen ones to be true men in the midst of a generation of unbelievers, — so 
may we live now by his grace and power. May we strive to do what may be for 
the Right, — for justice, temperance, mercy, — that the mission of Jesus may be 
wrought out by us as it was by his faithful disciples of old, and brought into actual 
fulfilment. Help us each to do what we may to make ourselves and the world 
better. Help us to believe that the Right is both better and stronger than the 
Wrong. Forgive us, quicken us, lead us, and finally receive us. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

OGIVE thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good : for his mercy endureth for 
ever. 

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the 
adversary ; 

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the 
north and from the south. 

They vuandered in the wilderness in a desert way ; they found no city of habitation* 

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their 
distresses. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WHEN they had finished their mission the disciples all met Jesus at Caper- 
naum. Here the terrible news came to them that Herod Antipas had 
beheaded John the Baptist. But the wonderful works of Jesus had come to the 
notice of Herod ; and he thought that Jesus was John come to life again. To 
avoid Antipas, Jesus went across the lake into Herod Philip's dominion. A great 
multitude on their way to the passover followed him. 



FEEDING THE MULTITUDE. 



6 7 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

^TOW Jesus withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart : and when 
S the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 
And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, 
and healed their sick. And when even was come, the disciples came to him, 
saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes 
away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. But Jesus said 
unto them, They have no need to go away ; give ye them to eat. And they say 
unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. And he said, Bring them 
hither to me. And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass ; and 
he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, 
and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 
And they did all eat, and were filled : and they took up that which remained over 
of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And they that did eat were about five 
thousand men, beside women and children.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

MOST merciful God and gracious Father, We thank thee for the gospel of thy 
Son, and for the simple and impressive manner in which he taught to the 
listening multitudes its lessons of justice, love, and humility. We would draw nigh 
to thee in prayer, not alone of the lips, but of the heart ; believing that thou knowest 
what we have need of, and wilt answer in the language of the spirit. We thank 
thee for the assurance that thou art more willing to give than we are to receive thy 
gracious blessings. Help us to remember this and to turn from our sins, knowing that 
thou wilt pardon us and raise us to the blessedness of thine ineffable life. Holy 
Father, deliver us from all self-righteousness ; help us to bow before thee in hu- 
mility, and to remember others in our petitions for thy gracious gifts. Teach us not 
to boast of our good works, nor to exalt ourselves above others, but to remember 
our ur> worthiness, and to implore thy merciful forgiveness. Thou lovest the humble 
and contrite soul. May we obey the word and example of him who taught us the 
lessons of love and trust in the simplicity of the parables and whom by his obedience 
thou hast exalted at thy right hand forever more. Amen.

Jesus in Jfareign Eanti^ 



RESPONSIVE READING. 

BEHOLD, my servant whom I have chosen ; my beloved in whom my soul is well 
pleased : 
/ will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles. 
He shall not strive, nor cry aloud ; 
Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets. 

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he 
send forth judgment unto victory. 

And in his 7iame shall the Gentiles hope. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

IN their wonder and gratitude at what Jesus had done for them, the multitude tried 
to make him king. But he withdrew from them into a mountain to pray. 
Toward morning he perceived that his disciples, whom he had sent across the lake 
the evening before, were still rowing against a contrary wind. Jesus went to their boat, 
walking upon the water. The sea became calm, and the boat soon reached the shore 
below Capernaum. Again another great multitude gathered about him; and to avoid 
them, Jesus now took his only journey beyond the limits of Palestine. 



JESUS IN FOREIGN LANDS.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. 
And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it : and he could 
not be hid. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, 
having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Greek, 
a Syrophcenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil 
out of her daughter. And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled : for it is 
not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. But she answered and 
saith unto him, Yea, Lord : even the dogs under the table eat of the children's 
crumbs. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way ; the devil is gone out of 
thy daughter. And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the 
bed, and the demon gone out.

PRAYER. 

THOU infinite Presence, We come to thee in the spirit of him who went about 
doing good. We bless thee for his grand and noble life, and that through it 
such helpful influence has come to humanity. We rejoice that the work of the 
Master was not confined to the Jews or those who dwelt around the holy city. We 
thank thee that he heard the earnest pleading of that woman of another nation, who 
had faith that he could heal her daughter. And we pray that his spirit may be in our 
hearts, and inspire us to do good to all men. May we in our daily lives seek to build 
up the kingdom of God in the earth. May we aid in extending the principles of the 
gospel to all who sit in darkness or the shadow of death. May this school follow the 
Master into that field of toil where each may find some Christian service to render. 
And when the earthly work shall be over, the days of toil finished in the Church below, 
may one and all find abundant entrance into the heavenly kingdom, where Christ will 
be the living head and teacher. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THE earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell 
therein. 
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy 
place ? 

He that hath dean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto 
vanity, and hath not sworn deceitfully. 

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, 
And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

LEAVING Tyre, Jesus went northward to Sidon, and thence across the mountains 
of Lebanon to Decapolis, a group of ten cities to the east of Gennesaret. In 
the course of his teaching and preaching here, he healed a deaf mute and fed another 
multitude of four thousand. Then with his disciples he crossed the lake to Dalma- 
nutha, a region south of Capernaum. On the Way he warned his disciples to avoid 
the leaven of the Pharisees. When another great multitude thronged about him, he 
took a boat and went northward to Bethsaida Philip. It was here that the healing of 
the blind man took place. On the way from this place to Caesarea Philippi he asked

•his disciples who the people thought he was. They answered that some said he was 
John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others one of the prophets. But Peter said to 
him, "Thou art Christ, the son of the Living God." 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bring- 
eth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves : and he was transfigured 
before them : and his garments became glistering, exceeding white ; so as no fuller on 
earth can whiten them. And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses : and they 
were talking with Jesus. And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good 
for us to be here : and let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for 
Moses, and one for Elijah. For he wist not what to answer ; for they became sore 
afraid. And there came a cloud overshadowing them : and there came a voice out of 
the cloud, This is my beloved Son : hear ye him. And suddenly looking round about, 
they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

THE REDEEMER. 



PRAYER. 

OTHOU eternal and ever-present Spirit of Love and Truth, In answer to the call 
of Jesus we would worship thee in spirit and in truth. Though thou hast 
framed our bodies of the dust of the earth, yet thou hast given us of thine immortal 
spirit, so that we are living souls ; and though by our bodies we are joined to earth 
and things of time and sense, yet by our souls we are thy children, and may dwell in 
the world of spirit. We rejoice that the two worlds — the world of the earthly life 
and the world of the heavenly life — are not far apart. We thank thee for the faith 
that looks onward into that bright world, and for the assurance, given to us by the 
experience of Jesus and his disciples, that help and comfort come to us in time of 
need from thence. We look forward to the time when, after the refining and edu- 
cating experience of this life, we shall reach there our final home. O thou who art 
ruler in that world and in this, help us to live day by day worthy of the companion- 
ship of those who dwell in that blest land ; for thus shall we be better prepared to 
follow thither Jesus and our vanished friends. Amen.

HAVE this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus : 
Who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality 
with God ; 

But made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, being made in 
the likeness of men ; 

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even 
unto death, yea, the death of the cross. 

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is 
above every name ; 

That in the name of yesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things 
on earth and things under the earth. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

ON the way to Capernaum from the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus healed a boy 
sick with epilepsy, after his disciples had tried and failed. When they asked him 
why they had failed, Jesus told them it was because of their lack of faith. On the way, 
too, the disciples disputed amongst themselves as to who of their number would 
occupy the highest places in the kingdom which they thought Jesus had come to 
found.

AND they came to Capernaum : and when he was in the house he asked them, 
What were ye reasoning in the way ? But they held their peace : for they had 
disputed one with another in the way, who was the greatest. And he sat down, and 
called the twelve ; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last 
of all, and minister of all. And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of 
them : and taking him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of 
such little children in my name, receiveth me : and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth 
not me, but him that sent me. Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become 
as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever 
therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the king- 
dom of heaven.

PRAYER. 

OUR heavenly Father, We thy children would ask of thee a father's blessing. 
We know thou art ready to give it, for thou hast taught us that thou dost love 
us. We thank thee for this assurance, for it calms all our fears, gives us light in 
darkness, comfort in sorrow, and strength in weakness. W T ilt thou enable us to heed 
the lesson we have read from thy word. May we not be satisfied with low aims, 
but may all our aspirations be pure and lofty. May we foster a desire for that true 
greatness which is humble, and consists not in place or name, but in truth, purity, 
reverence, and love ; and may we seek that nobility of soul which is Christian char- 
acter. Endow us with a greatness that will make us useful to our fellow-men and a 
blessing to the world in which we live. May we fix our hearts and minds upon Christ 
as the model of true greatness, the leader of our lives, and the Saviour of our souls, 
now and forever. Amen.

COMFORT ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably 
to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her 
iniquity is pardoned ; 

That she hath 7-eceived of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. 

The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the Lord, 
make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low : 
and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain. 

Behold, the Lord God will come as a mighty one, and his arm shall rule for him : 
behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him. 

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, he shall gather the lambs in his arm, and 
carry them in his bosom. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WHILE Jesus was stopping at Capernaum, his brothers came from Nazareth to 
ask him to go with them to the Feast of the Tabernacle at Jerusalem. Jesus 
did not wish to arouse the hostility of his foes by having a large company about him, 
and therefore declined to go with them. He afterward went to the feast alone, and 
began to teach in the Temple. 



JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD. 



§3 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

SOME therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill ? 
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him ; 
and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him. Jesus therefore said, 
I am the light of the world : he that folio weth me shall not walk in the darkness, but 
shall have the light of life. I am the good shepherd : and I know mine own, and 
mine own know me, even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father ; and I 
lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this 
fold : them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice ; and they shall become 
one flock, one shepherd. 

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees ; and said unto 
them, Why did ye not bring him ? The officers answered, Never man so spake. 
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray ? Hath any of the 
rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees ? But this multitude which knoweth not 
the law are accursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, Doth our law judge a man, 
except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth? They answered and said 
unto him, Art thou also of Galilee ?

PRAYER. 

FATHER of light and life, We thank thee for every good and perfect gift that 
cometh down from thee. We gratefully acknowledge that the best and 
most perfect gift from thee to us is the light that the Saviour brought into the 
world. May we walk evermore in that light : so shall we be strong in the hour 
of temptation, resigned in the time of trouble, and generous and helpful in seasons 
of prosperity. As the good shepherd leads his flock beside the still waters and 
into green pastures, so, Father, by the light of the teachings and example of Jesus 
guide us to a nobler and a truer life. And with us guide all thy children. Carry 
the weak and feeble upon thy bosom, lead those that wander away into forbidden 
paths back to the true way j until at last the Master's words shall indeed be ful- 
filled, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. Amen.

AFTER his foes had made an attempt to arrest him at the Feast of the Taber- 
nacle, Jesus returned to Capernaum. When the time of the Feast of the 
Dedication was at hand, he started with a large gathering of disciples for Jerusalem 
by way of Samaria. The inhabitants of the country refusing to sell his company 
food, he selected seventy and sent them on a mission through Samaria. With the 
rest of the company he turned and went to Jerusalem through the valley of the 
Jordan.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing 
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a cer- 
tain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off : and 
they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he 
saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it 
came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw 
that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God ; and he fell 
upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks : and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus 
answering said, Were not the ten cleansed ? but where are the nine ? Were there 
none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger? And he said 
unto him, Arise, and go thy way : thy faith hath made thee whole.

OTHOU infinite and gracious God, We come unto thee in filial trust and 
confidence, knowing that thou art more willing to grant thy favors than we 
are to ask or receive them. We rejoice to find in Jesus the same love and for- 
giveness for the sinful that we find in thee. Thou didst give him power to heal 
the sick, to cleanse the leper, to save the sinful. And as we receive his merciful 
gifts, fill us with thanksgiving for his goodness, and praise for thy glory. Make us 
loyal and faithful to him who has done so much for us. In the teachings of Christ 
we have the truth that came from thee. Enable us, we beseech thee, so to walk in 
the footsteps of thy son that we may know the way, the truth, and the life. Bless 
us this day, fill our soul with thy loving spirit, so that we may love thee, love thy 
service, and love one another. And unto thee be the praise and the glory forever. 
Amen.

AND which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature ? 
And why are ye anxious concerning raiment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how 
they grow ; they toil not, ?ieither do they spin : 

Yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 
one of these. 

But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is 
cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? 

Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat ? or, What shall we drink ? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? 

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ; for your heavenly Father knoweth 
that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteous- 
ness ; and all these things shall be added unto you. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AFTER healing the ten lepers Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, teach- 
ing, preaching, and healing in Peraea as he passed along. Arriving in the city, 
he made his home, as usual, with his friend Lazarus at Bethany. It was here that 
his words in commendation of Mary for choosing the better part were spoken. It 
was probably also in this home that Jesus blessed little children.

AND they brought unto him also their babes, that he should touch them : but 
when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto 
him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of 
such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive 
the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 

Again he said, Unto what is the kingdom of God like ? and whereunto shall I 
liken it? It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into 
his own garden ; and it grew, and became a tree ; and the birds of the heaven 
lodged in the branches thereof. And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the 
kingdom of God ? It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three 
measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

PRAYER. 

AGAIN, O God our King, we bring our tribute of praise to thy altar, and beseech 
thy benediction. Day unto day and night unto night declare thy glory. 
Everywhere and always thou art God. Thy hand ever bestoweth favor, and thy 
heart of love throbbeth in sympathy with thy children. Through every experience 
both of joy and sadness, thou art leading us on to final happiness. Our Father, we 
would worship thee to-day in spirit and in truth. In unison with all aspiring 
hearts, we bless and magnify thy name. Give us grace, O God, to serve thee 
faithfully. We do not always see thy hand. Open our eyes that we may see thee 
as thou art, — our Father in heaven and upon the earth. We do not expect to 
know thee fully, because thou art infinite and eternal ; but we would that, following 
in the footsteps of thy best-beloved Son, we might learn to trust thee where we 
cannot see, to know in the darkness the voice of the Good Shepherd, and follow 
where he leads. Bless us all, O God, as we need, and make us examples of 
Christian truth and duty. In the name of Jesus we ask it. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

LET love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil ; cleave to that 
which is good. 
In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another ; in honour preferring 
one another. 

Bless them that persecute you ; bless, and curse not. 
Rejoice with them that rejoice ; weep with them that weep. 

]f thine enemy hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him to drink : for in so 
doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. 

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AT the Feast of the Dedication Jesus again met with serious opposition from 
his enemies. They incited the citizens to stone him, and thus he was forced 
to take refuge in Peraea. Here he taught and healed people who dwelt in the 
vicinity of the place where John began to baptize. Here also the seventy came 
and reported to him the great success of their mission in Samaria. 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what 
shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he s^id unto him, What is written in 
the law ? how readest thou ? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy

God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all 
thy mind ; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast an- 
swered right : this do, and thou shalt live. But he, desiring to justify himself, said 
unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour ? Jesus made answer and said, A certain man 
was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho ; and he fell among robbers, which both 
stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance 
a certain priest was going down that way : and when he saw him, he passed by on 
the other side. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and 
saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, 
came where he was : and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion, and 
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine ; and he set 
him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on 
the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care 
of him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay 
thee. Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell 
among the robbers? And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said 
unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

PRAYER. 

EVER kind and merciful Father, We thank thee for the example of goodness 
thou hast set before us in Jesus. We bless thee that his words and life reveal 
thy kindness and mercy to us, and teach us to be kind and merciful to others. 
Father, help us to-day to take to our hearts the lesson of this parable of the Good 
Samaritan. May we be charitable to all, whatever their belief, their nation, or 
their position in life. Make us quick to feel that there are wounds of the spirit 
and of the heart as well as of the body. Fill us with thine own gracious spirit, 
that we may pour over such wounds the healing balm of sympathy and love. And 
when we find those who need our help, strengthen us, we pray thee, to persevere 
in our well doing until they no longer need our aid. Thus shall we show ourselves 
true neighbors to all, and faithful disciples of him who, pointing us to the Good 
Samaritan, says, " Go, and do ye likewise." Amen.

Jesus at $etijanp* 



RESPONSIVE READING. 

SURELY he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows : yet we did esteem 
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities : 
the chastisement of our peace was upon him. 

All we like sheep have gone astray ; we have turned every one to his own way; 
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 

He was oppressed, yet he humbled himself and opened not his mouth. By oppres- 
sion and judgment he was taken away. 

And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; 

Although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

IN Peraea Jesus was teaching people whom the Jews looked upon as sinners and 
Gentiles, people beyond the limits of God's care and love. Here he gave the 
parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Piece of Silver, the Prodigal Son, and the 
Rich Man and Lazarus. Hither came to him word from Mary and Martha that 
their brother was sick unto death. Despite the entreaties of his disciples, who 
feared the danger to which he would be exposed in Jerusalem, Jesus started for 
Bethany. 






JESUS AT BETHANY.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

SO when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb four days 
already. Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, 
my brother had not died. And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask 
of God, God will give thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the 
last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life : he that be- 
lieveth on me, though he die, yet shall he live : and whosoever liveth and believeth 
on me shall never die. Believest thou this ? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord : I have 
believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the 
world. And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister 
secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee.

PRAYER. 

WE thank thee, Gracious Father, for the gospel of our Saviour, through which 
thou hast abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. If 
any of our number are at this time burdened with sorrow, may they, like the 
sisters of Bethany, turn to Jesus. . May his comforting spirit be with them to reveal 
our sure resurrection from death, and to point to the blessed life beyond the grave. 
Loving Father, prepare us, we pray thee, for whatever grief may be in store for us. 
When it shall come, may we keep firm our belief in the Saviour's words of comfort 
and promise. Perfect us in the faith that we are living in thy house of many 
mansions. Open thou our spiritual vision that we may clearly see our vanished 
friends and dear ones preparing with Jesus places for us in the unseen world. 
Teach us that whether we live or die we are still thine, and that thy love will never 
lose its own. So may we ever trust in thee, and with grateful hearts be able to 
say in spirit and in truth, Not our will, but thine, O God, be done. Amen.

LET not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
In my Father's house are many mansions ; if it were not so, I would have told 
you ; for I go to prepare a place for you. 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you 
unto myself \ 

That where I am, there ye may be also. 

Peace I leave with you ; my peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, 
give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. 

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except 
it abide in the vine ; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. 

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall 
be done unto you. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

JESUS had not yet come into the village of Bethany when Martha met him. 
Martha went to tell her sister of the arrival of Jesus, and found her, sur- 
rounded by sympathizing neighbors, bewailing the death of Lazarus. These 
friends followed Mary, thinking that she had gone merely to visit the tomb of 
Lazarus. But they saw her at the feet of Jesus, weeping and saying unto him, 
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 



THE RAISING OF LAZARUS. 



IO3 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

WHEN Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which 
came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, 
Where have ye laid him ? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. 

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was 
a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, 
the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, he hath been dead four days. 
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest 
see the glory of God ? So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, 
and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me. And I knew that thou 
hearest me always : but because of the multitude which standeth around I said it, 
that they may believe that thou didst send me. And when he had thus spoken, he 
cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. He that was dead came forth, bound 
hand and foot with grave-clothes ; and his face was bound about with a napkin. 
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 

Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and beheld that which he 
did, believed on him. But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told 
them the things which Jesus had done.

PRAYER. 

WE bless thee, O Father, and we would come to thee now, gratefully ac- 
knowledging our dependence upon thee. Thou art the source of light 
and peace to all who truly seek thee, and we approach thee at this time with 
the earnest desire in our hearts that we may be more like him who brought 
light from darkness, and revealed to us immortality. O Father, may we delight 
in thy testimonies, and seek thee with our whole heart. From thee we have 
life and all life's blessings. Thy gifts unto us are greater in number than we 
can ask or even think. Chief among these is that unspeakable gift, — thy son, 
Jesus Christ. For his life and work in the world we offer special thanks to- 
day. We rejoice that he came to earth with a heart full of tender sympathy for 
the afflicted ; that he wept with those who wept ; that he ministered consolation to 
the sorrowing. We rejoice still more that thou didst endow him with that divine 
power by which the sick were healed, the impotent restored, and even the dead 
raised to life. We praise thee not only for the power he exercised over human 
bodies, but more especially for that greater power he wielded over human souls. 
By the touch of his quickening spirit those dead in transgression and sin were 
raised into newness of life. May we recognize his call to the human soul to arise 
out of death in sin and walk forth to life in righteousness. May we hear his voice, 
obey his call, and enter into his full salvation. Amen.

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

THE raising of Lazarus so excited the spite and envy of the enemies of Jesus 
that they determined to compass his death at any cost. Jesus therefore 
retired to Ephraim, a city about thirty miles northwest of Bethany ; and here and 
in Peraea, near the Jordan, he passed the time until the Feast of the Passover. As 
the time of that feast approached, he took his disciples and set out for Jerusalem 
by the way of Jericho. As he went along he told his disciples that his hour had 
come ; that it was necessary that he should die at Jerusalem in order that his 
kingdom might be established upon the earth.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

THEN came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worship- 
ping him, and asking a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What 
wouldest thou ? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one 
on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. But Jesus answered 
and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about 
to drink? They say unto him, We are able. He saith unto them, My cup indeed 
ye shall drink : but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to 
give, but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. And when 
the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles 
lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Not so shall 
it be among you : but whosoever would become great among you shall' be your 
minister ; and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant : even as 
the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his 
life a ransom for many.

PRAYER. 

OUR Father who art in heaven, We look unto thee for thy blessing. Hear our 
prayer, we beseech thee, and grant us the peace and joy of thy presence. 
We ask not for riches and honor, nor for any earthly treasure which moth and 
rust may corrupt ; we ask for the gifts of the spirit, — for faith and hope and love. 
Help us to be more gentle, meek, and patient. May we have the spirit of thy dear 
Son, our Saviour, who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Make us 
more willing to bear one another's burdens, and so to fulfil the law of Christ. Grant 
that in all things we may be the loving and faithful disciples of him who was meek 
and lowly in heart, and who sought not high things, but condescended to men of 
low estate. So may the blessings of thy kingdom come to us as we seek to do thy 
will, and thy love and peace abide in all our hearts evermore, through Jesus Christ 
our Lord. Amen.

UPON the arrival of Jesus at Jerusalem, his friends at Bethany welcomed him 
with a feast. It was at this feast that Mary anointed him. Attracted not 
only by the presence of Jesus, but also by the hope of seeing Lazarus, who had 
been raised from the dead, a large company flocked out of the city to Bethany. 
They were now ready to proclaim Jesus as their king.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

ON the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard 
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, 
and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna : Blessed is he that cometh in 
the name of the Lord, even the King of; Israel. And as he was now drawing nigh, 
even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples 
began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which 
they had seen ; saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord : 
peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from the 
multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and 
said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. 

And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, saying 
unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer : but ye have 
made it a den of robbers. 

And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the 
scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him : and they could 
not find what they might do ; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

PRAYER. 

OUR heavenly Father, We thank thee for the gift of thy son to be the Saviour 
of the world. We bless thee for the light and love which he brought from 
thee to the children of men. Thou dost give us in him a witness of thyself, that 
we may put our trust in thee as our unchanging friend. May we be ready to labor 
in thy service, ever following in the footsteps of our Master, who went about doing 
good. Fill our hearts with love to all, and cause our hands to open wide toward 
the poor and needy. May we enter into their sorrows and be acquainted with 
their griefs. May we be cheerful givers, as thou hast given freely unto us. -Guide, 
us, O Lord, we pray thee, and strengthen us unto every good word and work ; and 
thy great name shall have all the praise, through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and 
Redeemer. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

FOR I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the 
Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread ; 

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, atid said, This is my body, which is 
for you : this do in remembrance of me. 

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's 
death till he come. 

Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, 
shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 

But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and diank of the 
cup. 

For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he 
discern not the body. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

FROM the day of his joyful reception by the people, to the time of the Last 
Supper, Jesus filled his days with teaching, and passed his nights at Bethany. 
During this last week of his life he predicted the destruction of Jerusalem, the 
overthrow of the Temple, and gave the parables of The Withered Fig-Tree, The 
Vineyard, The Ten Talents, The Publican's Prayer, The Widow's Mite, The King 
and his Son, The Ten Virgins, and The King's Judgment.

NOW on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, 
Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? And he 
said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time 
is at hand ; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples 
did as Jesus appointed them ; and they made ready the passover. 

And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, 
and gave to them, and said, Take ye : this is my body. And he took a cup, and 
when he had given thanks, he gave to them : and they all drank of it. And he 
said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many. 

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

PRAYER. 

BOUNTIFUL Father, The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them 
their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire 
of every living thing. O thou who givest to the beast his food, ar.d to the young 
ravens which cry, we ask, as did thy servant of old, that thou wiit feed us with 
food that is needful for us. Each time, as we gather about the table at home 
laden with thy bounty, may we remember that from thee cometh down every good 
and perfect gift, and render thanks. For the bread of heaven which thou hast 
sent us in the teachings and life of Jesus, we thank thee. In church, in Sunday- 
school, and at the communion-table, may our souls feed upon that bread. By the 
spiritual strength thus gained may we be inspired to use our bodies and shed our 
blood, if need be, as Jesus did, in the service of our fellow-men. In the knowledge 
that thou art more ready to give than we are to receive, we humbly and gratefully 
offer our prayer. Amen.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him :

WHILE Jesus was teaching openly in the Temple during the Passover Week, 
his enemies were perfecting their plans against his life. They bribed 
Judas to betray him. The betrayal took place when Jesus, after eating the pass- 
over with his disciples, had gone out with them into the Garden of Gethsemane.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND he was parted from them about a stone's cast ; and he kneeled down and 
prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me : never- 
theless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared unto him an angel 
from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more ear- 
nestly : and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon 
the ground. And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, 
and found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye ? rise and 
pray, that ye enter not into temptation. 

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great 
multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that 
is he : take him. And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi ; and 
kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. 
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And behold, one of them 
that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the 
servant of the high priest. Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword 
into its place : for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

PRAYER. 

WE rejoice, O God, that thou art ; and that thou art altogether lovely, the 
one altogether to be praised. We rejoice that whilst we are weak, thou 
art strong and mighty ; that whilst we are short-sighted, thou seest the end from 
the beginning ; that whilst we are sinful, thou art a being of spotless purity ; that 
whilst we are finite, thou art infinite in all thy ways. But, O Father, notwithstand- 
ing thou art as much above us as the heavens are above the earth, thou hast given 
us the sweet assurance that thy love for us is the same yesterday, to-day, and for- 
ever. And imperfect though we are, thou dost seek to make us stronger, wiser, 
better. Gracious God, we pray that we may yield ourselves to thy loving, helpful 
spirit ; that we may have the mind of Christ, who came not to destroy men's lives, 
but to save them. We pray for the forgiving spirit. We pray that we may be 
long-suffering, and kind, and willing to forgive as we hope to be forgiven. This 
we ask as disciples of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Jesus before ptete* 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

SURELY he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows : 
Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

He was oppressed, yet he humbled himself and opened not his mouth ; as a 
lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb ; 
yea, he opened not his mouth. 

And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ; al- 
though he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. 

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil 
with the strong ; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the 
transgressors. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WHEN Jesus was arrested, the eleven all forsook him. Judas, the betrayer, 
hanged himself. Jesus was first taken for examination before Annas, the 
ex-high priest. Annas sent him to his son-in-law, the present high priest, Caiaphas. 
This man, adjudging Jesus guilty, arraigned him before the Sanhedrim. Con- 
demned by this tribunal, Jesus was led to Pilate, the Roman governor, for final 
examination and sentence. Pilate could find nothing against him worthy of death, 
and requested the people to withdraw their accusation. This they refused to do. 
Thereupon Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas (who was then in the city for the 
feast of the passover), in the hope that Herod would take the responsibility of 
deciding the case. In this Pilate was disappointed.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and 
said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth 
the people : and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this 
man touching those things whereof ye accuse him : no, nor yet Herod : for he sent 
him back unto us ; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. 
I will therefore chastise him, and release him. But they cried out all together, 
saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas : one who for a certain 
insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. And Pilate 
spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus ; but they shouted, saying, Crucify, 
crucify him. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man 
done ? I have found no cause of death in him : I will therefore chastise him and 
release him. But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be 
crucified. And their voices prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that what they 
asked for should be done. And he released him that for insurrection and murder 
had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to 
their will.

PRAYER. 

DEAR Lord, our heavenly Father, We thank thee that, though we are only 
children, we know something of thy great goodness. Hast thou not given 
us our fathers and mothers, our sisters and brothers, our playmates and friends, 
and all our good and perfect gifts ? Surely thou dost love us, and we ought to love 
thee also. But more than all hast thou shown thy love to us in the gift of Jesus 
Christ, thy son. We pray that we may be able to know him better than we do ; 
that our parents and teachers may have wisdom concerning him, and may tell it to 
us. And make our hearts to be so good and pure that the story of his goodness 
and power shall not seem unreal to us, as it did to those men of old, who, though 
they saw him and all his works, did not believe in him. O Lord, make us to be of 
his flock, and to follow the example of his goodness, until we shall know and love 
him so well that no one shall be able to pluck us out of his hand. O help us to 
show that we are his, as he showed that he was thine, by the works which we do. 
Dear Father, we pray that we may be good, so that we may know Christ. And we 
pray that we may know Christ, so that we may be good. Wilt thou help us in this, 
and all things, through him. Amen.

XXXII. 

3Tt)e Crucifixion* 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

HEAR, O Lord, when I cry with my voice : have mercy also upon me, and 
answer me. 

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me up. 

Teach me thy way, O Lord ; and lead me in a plain path, because of mine 
enemies. 

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries ; for false witnesses are 
risen up against me, a?id such as breathe out cruelty. 

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the 
land of the living. 

Wait on the Lord : be strong, and let thine heart take courage ; yea, wait thou on 
the Lord. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

HAVING passed judgment upon Jesus, Pilate scourged him and then handed 
him over to the Jews. They placed a crown of thorns upon his head, and 
bound upon his shoulders the cross upon which he was to be crucified. They 
forced Jesus, thus pierced and burdened, to go along the streets through a crowd 
that scoffed at, spat upon, and beat him. He was driven to Golgotha, and there 
crucified. . . . Among those that witnessed the execution were the mother and the 
disciples of Jesus, Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. To John's 
care Jesus left his mother.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they 
crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on 
the left. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them ; for they know not what they do. 
And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others ; let him save himself, 
if this is the Christ of God, his chosen. 

And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not 
thou the Christ ? save thyself and us. But the other answered, and rebuking him 
said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation ? 
And we indeed justly ; for we receive the due reward of our deeds : but this man 
hath done nothing amiss. And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in 
thy kingdom. And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be 
with me in Paradise. 

And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land 
until the ninth hour, the sun's light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in 
the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy 
hands I commend my spirit : and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

PRAYER. 



HEAVENLY Father, We reverently confess that thy judgments are unsearch- 
able, and thy ways past finding out. But though we cannot know why 
sorrow and pain must come into all our lives, yet we trust that thou doest all things 
well. As thou didst make Jesus, the Captain of our Salvation, perfect through 
suffering, so come the crosses we are called upon to bear, to strengthen us for every 
good word and work. In sickness and in pain, Father, be thou near with thy lov- 
ing spirit to heal and to comfort. Keep us from thinking of our trouble only. Enable 
us to be kindly thoughtful of the comfort and need of others, especially of those 
who are caring for us, or whose hearts are touched by our suffering. And when all 
earthly and human aid fails us, may we feel the everlasting arms still beneath us. 
Then perfect our trust in thee. May we meet the end with calm resignation, and 
pass into death in the hope of a resurrection to the blessed life beyond the grave. 
We rejoice that we can offer all our prayers in the name of him who brought life 
and immortality to light. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

ARISE, shine ; for thy light is come, 
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 
The sun shall be no more thy light by day ; neither for brightness shall the 
moon give light unto thee : 

But the Lo?'d shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 
Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself : 
For the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall 
be ended. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WHEN Jesus was dead, the soldiers took his body from the cross and gave it to 
his friends. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathsea embalmed it and placed it 
in a new tomb in Joseph's garden. A large stone was placed against the entrance, 
and a guard was stationed by the sepulchre. The next day was the last day of the 
week, the Jewish Sabbath. 



THE RESURRECTION. 



131 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

BUT on the first day of the week, at early dawn, Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, 
and Mary the mother of James, came unto the tomb, bringing the spices 
which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to 
pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in 
dazzling apparel : and as they were affrighted, and bowed down their faces to the 
earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead ? He is not here, 
but is risen : remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying 
that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be 
crucified, and the third day rise again.

PRAYER. 

HOLY Father, We thank thee for life, and for all that makes life blessed. 
Especially do we thank thee to-day for the joy, the hope, and the life 
inspired by the resurrection from the grave of Jesus, thy well-beloved Son. We 
thank thee that he conquered death, and brought life and immortality to light. We 
thank thee for the assurance, from which nothing can move us, that because he 
lives, we shall live also; that we shall not lose our identity in death ; that in the 
other^ world we shall see and be seen, know and be known; and that there we 
cannot be separated from the love of God. And we thank thee for the assurance 
that the glorious realities of that world will far surpass our fondest hopes ; for " it 
hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive the things which God hath 
prepared for them that love him." For all this we thank thee. And while we 
commemorate the fact which has brought such light to our earth, we pray that thou 
wilt help us and all thy people to walk as children of the light, through Christ our 
Lord. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

THE Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup : thou maintainest 
my lot. 

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 

I have set the Lord always before me : because he is at my right hand, I 
shall not be moved. 

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall dwell in 
safety. 

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol ; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy 
one to see corruption. 

Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; in thy right 
hand there are pleasures for ever more. 



, SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

THE women and the disciples who first came to the sepulchre and found that 
Jesus had risen, carried the tidings to others. During the afternoon of the 
Resurrection Day Jesus walked and talked with two of the disciples on the way to 
Emmaus, a little village in the suburbs of the city.

AND afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at 
meat ; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, 
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he 
said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole 
creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that dis- 
believeth shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that believe : 
in my name shall they cast out devils ; they shall speak with new tongues ; they 
shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt 
them ; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into 
heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached 
everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs 
that followed. Amen.

PRAYER. 

DEAR Lord of life, We thank thee that thy beloved Son could not be held by 
death nor bound to earth, but arose into the highest and holiest life at thy 
right hand. We thank thee that we too may soar, on those wings of the soul, 
looking up and lifting up into the heaven of union with our God ; that our lives 
may be hid with Christ's in thine, and so we shall not taste of death, but shall know 
eternal and ever-rising life, going on and up from grace unto grace, from glory unto 
glory. May we all preach, by lip and life, the good news that we are thy children, 
all men are brothers, Christ is the Saviour of the world. May we have power to 
cast out evil, and to fill its place with good. May thy great love, which makes rich 
and strong beyond compare, and causes no harmful or lasting sorrow, dwell in our 
hearts, and find flowering and fruitage in our words and works. We pray these 
things, not for ourselves only, but for all thy children, that thou, O Father, may be 
all in all. Amen.

LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations. 
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth

We bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.

thieves do not break through nor steal : for where thy treasure is, there will thy 
heart be also. Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall 
eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not 
the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment ? Behold the birds 
of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns • 
and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not. ye of much more value than 
they ? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature ? 
And why are ye anxious concerning raiment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how 
they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin : yet I say unto you, that even Solo- 
mon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God doth so clothe 
the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he 
not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? Be not therefore anxious, saying, 
What shall we eat ? or, What shall we drink ? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? 
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ; for your heavenly Father knoweth 
that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his 
righteousness f and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore 
anxious for the morrow : for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto 
the day is the evil thereof. 



RESPONSIVE READING. 

For Superintendent, Teachers, and Scholars. 

Teachers. — Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and ye shall find ; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. 

Scholars. — For every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh findeth ; 
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 

Superintendent. — Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him 
for a loaf, will give him a stone ; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent ? 

Scholars. — If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your 
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to 
them that ask him ? 

Superintendent and Teachers. — All things therefore whatsoever ye would 
that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them. »

OUR Father in heaven, Unto thee we come, that we may receive thy blessing as 
we enter upon this new year. Thou knowest the end from the beginning. 
We know not what a day may bring forth, yet we have faith that thou doest all things 
well. We know, O Father, that we have in the past left many things undone that 
we might have done. We pray that thou wilt forgive us our shortcomings, and that 
we may hereafter be more mindful of our obligations, and may more faithfully per- 
form all the duties of life. Bless every member of this school, we pray thee. May 
the present year be one of prosperity. Increase our numbers, O Lord, and give 
us growth in grace and in knowledge of thy will. Make us strong to meet our own 
trials, and sympathetic and helpful when others are in trouble. So shall we live 
well in this world, and lay up treasures in that other world where neither moth nor 
rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. Amen.

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

NOW late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the 
week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 
And behold, there was a great earthquake ; for an angel of the Lord descended 
from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance 
was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow : and for fear of him the watchers 
did quake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the 
women, Fear not ye : for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. 
He is not here ; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the 
Lord lay.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

FOR we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have 
a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. 

As for man, his days are as grass ; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For 
the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 

Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 

Man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets. 

He that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live. 

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength 
fourscore years ; yet is their pride but labour and sor?-ow. 

Whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. 

We spend our years as a tale that is told. 

A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a 
watch in the night. 

All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : 

But the word of our God shall stand for ever. 

If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable. 

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. 

Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my 
Father's house are many mansions ; if it were not so, I would have told you ; for I 
go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come 
again, and will receive you unto myself ; that where I am, there ye may be also. 

I know that my redeemer liveth*

PRAYER. 



OGOD of light and Father of our blessed Saviour, We would be continually 
praising thee for the gift of thy Son, and for all he taught and did. But 
to-day we do especially remember and feel grateful for that which Easter day 
commemorates, — his victory over the grave, and his resurrection from the dead. 
For the life and immortality thus brought to light, we bless thee. For the sweet 
assurance we thus have that our vanished friends are not dead, we thank thee. May 
the hope and promise of this Easter confirm within us the faith that at last we too, 
victorious over death, shall rise to a blest reunion with those in the land beyond the 
grave. In the name of the risen Christ we ask all. Amen.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them : and the 
disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indig- 
nation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me ; forbid them 
not : for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 
And he took, them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them. 

And the disciples came unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom 
of heaven ? And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, 
and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye 
shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall 
humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of 
heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

TEACH me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes ; and I shall keep it unto the end. 
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law ; yea, I shall observe it with 
my whole heart. 

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments ; for therein do I delight. 

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken me in thy ways. 

Confirm thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to the fear of thee. 

Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid ; for thy judgments are good. 

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts : quicken me in thy righteousness.

PRAYER. 



OTHOU that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come. The aged shall 
bring to thee the deep experience of their years ; the strong man shall lay 
his trials and his joys at thy feet ; and the little children shall fearlessly look up to 
thee and put their trust in thy wisdom and love. O Shepherd of Israel, we bless 
thee that thou dost lead thy people like a flock, and carry the young lambs in thy 
bosom. Guard tenderly, we beseech thee, these lambs that are given into thine 
arms to-day. Lead them in green pastures, and by still waters ; and if they should 
wander from thy fold, O seek thou after them, and forsake them not until thou bring 
them back, to wander no more. May the seal of thy love be upon them, and the 
dews of thy grace nourish them, that they may grow up into thee, in the nurture 
and admonition of the Lord. Sanctify to all our hearts, our Father, the beautiful 
lessons of this day. Teach us to behold thy love in all the blessings that surround 
us, — in the beauty of the flowers, in the warmth and glory of the summer, in the 
dear friends thou hast given to love us and care for us. May our lives blossom 
with good deeds, and with love to each other and to thee. Lead us all by thy wis- 
dom here below, and at last receive us into thy great fold above, through Jesus our 
Redeemer. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

AS in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 
The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 

As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the 
heavenly. 

For this corruptible must put on incorruption t and this mortal must put on immor- 
tality. 

But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall 
have put on immortality, 

Then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in 
victory. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

AND I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 
made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice 
out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall 
dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, 
and be their God : and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes ; and death 
shall be no more ; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more : 
the first things are passed away.

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

JESUS said, I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. I am 
the good shepherd : the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. He 
that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth 
the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and 
scattereth them : he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 
I am the good shepherd ; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, even as 
the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father ; and I lay down my life for the 
sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold : them also I must bring, 
and they shall hear my voice ; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

OUR Creator and our Father, thou who hast made all Souls, and whose children 
we all are, We thank thee for this blessed day. We thank thee for the words 
of the inspired prophet, who has assured us that all souls are thine ; and for the 
teachings of thy Son, who has instructed us to call thee our Father. In this hour of 
fervent devotion our souls go out to thee in gratitude and joy. We bless thee that 
our hearts are created for goodness ; and wilt thou aid us to get good from the gifts 
of thy love. We would enrich our souls with the fruits of peace and love, hope and 
faith. May we never be so overcome by sorrow as to despair ; and when the night 
of death comes, may we find our comfort in him who is the Resurrection and the 
Life. And, we beseech thee, help us ever to remember that thou dwellest in all worlds, 
and that in thine own time thy Holy Spirit will seek out all souls and bring them to 
holiness and happiness. In this faith may we all rejoice. For this faith may we all 
labor and sacrifice, till we all attain unto the measure of the stature of the fulness 
of Christ. Amen.

WITH one consent, and with our whole heart, we give thee thanks and praise 
thy holy name. The outgoings of the morning and of the evening magnify 
thee, and the witness of thy providence is in the goodness that crowns the year. 
Thou hast so ordered the fading leaf of autumn, and the snow and cold of winter, 
as to make the spring beautiful and the summer bountiful. And while we rejoice 
that the reaper filleth his hand, and that he bindeth sheaves in his bosom, we grate-

sunshine and fruitful seasons are all, O God, from thee.

FATHER of all, We give thee hearty thanks for the care thou hast exercised

ship thee, not only in praise and prayer, but in the lives we live. And as we 
are true to thee, so shall we be faithful to our friends and generous in our sym-

Christmas* 

RESPONSIVE READING. 

FOR behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people : 
But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 

And nations shall come to thy light, 

And kings to the brightness of thy rising. 

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; because the Lord hath anointed me to 
preach good tidings unto the meek : 

He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, 

To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that 
are bound : 

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord : to comfort all that mourn. 

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem : 

For the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all nations ; 

And all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WE are holding in precious memory to-day the birth of our Saviour. In some 
places the day is ushered in with merry Christmas songs, and in very 
many churches in the Old World and the New, a solemn religious service is held, in 
which the worshippers are reminded that nearly two thousand years ago the Prince 
of Peace was born, and that ever since that time the light of his blessed gospel

has been shining on the earth. Our hearts should be full of gladness this day. As 
we think of the holy child Jesus, and how the star shone to guide the wise men to 
the Babe of Bethlehem, our hearts should indeed be glad with an exultant joy. 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

AND there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keep- 
ing watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by 
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them : and they were sore afraid. 
And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid ; for behold, I bring you good tidings 
of great joy which shall be to all the people : for there is born to you this day in the 
city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you ; 
Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And 
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, 
and saying,

And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the 
shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this 
thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they 
came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the 
manger. And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was 
spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it wondered at the things 
which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

PRAYER. 



OTHO U who art our Father, and the Father of the spirits of all flesh, We come 
to thee with grateful hearts on this glad day as we call to mind the birth of 
thy dear Son who came to be the Saviour of the world. We thank thee that thou 
didst so love the world as to send him, our Lord Jesus Christ, that we might believe, 
and have eternal life. And this is life eternal, that we know thee the only true God, 
and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ. We pray that our hearts may 
be so filled with holy love that we may try to bring peace on earth by our kind 
words and useful deeds ; thus evermore making our lives an anthem of praise. Bless 
our Sunday School, we pray thee. Bless the absent and the present members ; bless 
the teachers and the taught ; and grant that we all may have thy spirit in our hearts, 
and the light of thy gospel on our earthly pathway. May we keep Christmas by 
cherishing and exhibiting a spirit of good-will to all. And when we no longer 
keep Christmas on earth, permit us, according to thy purpose and thy promise, to 
keep Christmas in a fairer land, in the Father's house with its many mansions, where 
we shall see him whom, having not seen, we love and strive to follow. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

BLESSED be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to 
all that he promised : 

There hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the 
hand of Moses his servant. 

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers : let him not leave us, 
nor forsake us : 

That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his 
commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. 

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, 
be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night ; 

That all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord, he is God ; there is none 
else. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

WE meet to-day to commemorate good people and good work of the past. As 
the blessings we enjoy arose in small beginnings, and were bought at a 
great price of labor and sacrifice, so we, in our day and generation, ought to add 
something to that which the future is to receive from us, even though it cost us a 
similar outlay of time and effort.

IN the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. But Jesus said 
unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. The disciples therefore said 
one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat ? Jesus saith unto them, 
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. Say 
not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest ? behold, I say unto 
you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto har- 
vest. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal ; that 
he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. For herein is the 
saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon 
ye have not laboured : others have laboured, and ye are entered into their 
labour.

PRAYER. 

OUR Father who art in heaven, We beseech thee that thou wilt crown the services 
of this clay with thy blessing. May our hearts be filled with gratitude for 
the past, and with zeal to labor for the future. We thank thee that thou didst 
establish the work of our fathers' hands. Establish and perpetuate, we pray thee, 
the work of our hands. We realize to-day that there is an immortality on earth as 
well as an immortality in heaven. Help us to be faithful and devoted, that we may 
attain unto this earthly immortality. Thus may those who meet on this anniversary 
day in future years have cause to remember us, as we now have cause to remember 
those who gave themselves for our welfare and happiness. In the name of Jesus 
we ask all. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

WHOSO hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and 
shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in 
him ? 

God loveth the cheerful giver. 

To do good and to communicate forget not : 

For with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 

He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he that soweth bounti- 
fully shall reap also bountifully. 

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify 
your Father who is in heaven. 

// is more blessed to give than to receive. 



SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

THE Bible is full of exhortation and pleading to men to be generous and self- 
sacrificing. But the life and teachings of our blessed Saviour are the foun- 
tains from which we draw our highest inspiration and most perfect example in 
well-doing. To those who are walking in the darkness of error we are to carry or 
send the light of truth ; to those who are in need of material aid we are to give 
ready assistance. With open hand and loving heart we are ever to follow in the 
path Jesus trod.

THEN shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of 
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the 
world : for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave 
me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed me : I was 
sick, and ye visited me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the 
righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee ? 
or athirst, and gave thee drink ? And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee 
in ? or naked, and clothed thee ? And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and 
came unto thee ? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did 
it unto me.

PRAYER. 

INFINITE and universal Father, We thank thee that thou hast made of one 
every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth. Praise be unto thee 
that thou hast never left thyself without a witness in any human heart. From of 
old men have called themselves thy offspring. But the complete revelation of thy 
fatherhood thou hast made through our elder brother, Jesus Christ. O may we, 
with his prayer in our hearts, call upon thee as our Father. May we realize that 
all are thy children j that in Christ there is neither rich nor poor, bond nor free, but 
one family. And may we be tenderly affectioned one to another, in love of the 
brethren. Help us to know that as one member suffers, all the members suffer ; 
that as one member is honored, all the members rejoice. For then we shall be 
able so to order our service and our gifts that suffering may cease, and righteous- 
ness, truth, and joy may rule in all hearts. In the name of him who gave himself 
for us, we ask all. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING. 

BE not among winebibbers ; among gluttonous eaters of flesh : 
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty : and drowsiness shall 
clothe a man with rags. 

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath com- 
plaining? who hath wounds without cause ? who hath redness of eyes ? 
They that tarry long at the wine ; they that go to seek out mixed wine. 
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the 
cup, when it goeth down smoothly : 

At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 

SUPERINTENDENT'S READING. 

FROM the time of the disgrace of Noah to our day drunkenness has been the 
curse of humanity. History, Philosophy, and Religion lift up warning voices 
against the use of strong drink. It becomes us therefore as a school frequently 
to remind ourselves of our danger and our duty : our danger if we ourselves are 
tempted ; our duty to put forth vigorous efforts to stop the manufacture, sale, and 
use by others of liquors as a beverage. To this good end may God bless our 
present service. 

SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

LET us not therefore judge one another any more : but judge ye this rather, 
that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of 
falling. I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of 
itself : save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 
For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. 
Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. It is good not to eat flesh, nor 
to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth. 



170 



THE REDEEMER. 



Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to 
please ourselves. Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, 
unto edifying. For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The 
reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.

PRAYER. 

OTHOU merciful Father, who didst send Jesus into the world to save thy 
people from their sins, Keep us forever, we pray thee, from the great sin of 
intemperance. Give us power also to aid toward repentance and reformation those 
who have already fallen into temptation. Stay, we beseech thee, the sad havoc 
strong drink is making throughout our beloved land. Impart wisdom to our law- 
makers, that they may give us statutes intended to suppress the traffic in strong 
drink ; and cause our officials to be faithful in carrying out those laws. Bless the 
instruction in temperance given in the public schools. Grant thine aid, O helper 
of the helpless, to thy churches and Sunday schools everywhere. May they all do 
our blessed Redeemer's work, — lift up the fallen, rescue the perishing, and restore 
the lost. Thus may thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as in heaven. 
Amen.

BOW down thine ear, O Lord, and answer me ; for I am poor and needy. 
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all 
them that call upon thee. 

Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer ; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications. 

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee ; for thou wilt answer me. 

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : thou art God alone. 

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart ; and I will glorify thy 
name for evermore. 

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me ; give thy strength unto thy servant.

THE REDEEMER. 



SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. 

BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of 
mercies and God of all comfort ; who comforteth us in all our affliction, that 
we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort 
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ 
abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. But if we be 
afflicted, it is for our comfort and salvation. For our light affliction, which is for the 
moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory ; while 
we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen : for the 
things which are seen are temporal ; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 
For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have 
a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

now that thou hast sent trouble amongst us. Help us to look beyond the river to 
that fairer land where there is no more sickness, nor sorrow, nor death. Inspire 
us to look up with confidence, and, thoigh tears bedim our eyes, humbly to say, 
Not our will, but thine, O God, be done. We offer our petitions as disciples of him 
who when on earth wept with those who wept, — our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

THE Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want. 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : he leadeth me beside the still 
waters. 

He restoreth my soul : he guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his 
name's sake. 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 
for thou art with me : thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou hast 
anointed my head with oil ; my cup runneth over.

LET not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my 
Father's house are many mansions ; if it were not so, I would have told you •

And I .will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may 
be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth : whom the world cannot receive ; for 
it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him : ye know him ; for he abideth with you, 
and shall be in you. I will not leave you desolate : I come unto you. Yet a little 
while, and the world beholdeth me no more ; but ye behold me : because I live, ye 
shall live also. 

These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you. But the 
Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall 
teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you. 
Peace I leave with you ; my peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, gwp

PRAYER. 

OUR Father in heaven, Thou art the helper of all who put their trust in thee, 
and thou art our sure comforter in time of trial and bereavement. Gra- 
ciously hear our petition now, and grant us the aid we need to sustain us in this 
hour of sadness. Thou hast, in thy wise providence, taken from us a devoted 
Christian, a faithful friend. The familiar face we shall see no more. We mourn 
the loss, but not as those who have no hope ; for we may seek thee and thy word, 
and find true and lasting consolation. Help us to see that thou doest all things 
well. May the loss we now sustain be a means of drawing us nearer to thee. And 
when the duties and trials of life are ended, gather us to thyself, to live where there 
is no more sickness, nor sorrow, nor death, in a world without end. We ask all in 
his name who said, I am the resurrection and the life. Amen.

TEACHER'S READING. 

MANY years ago King Herod sent word to Joseph and Mary, who lived at 
Nazareth, that they must come to Bethlehem, a city eighty miles away, and 
sign their names for the payment of a tax. When Joseph and Mary came to Beth- 
lehem, the inn and the houses were full of people, and the only shelter they cou\d 
find was in a stable. 

The darkness came on, and the hush of night rested upon Bethlehem, when 
suddenly a great light shone above the stable home, making it brighter than day ; 
and a host of shining angels came to tell the good news that God had sent to 
Joseph and Mary a little babe who was to be the Saviour and king of the whole 
world. 

And the angels sang sweet music, full of joy and gladness. 

There were shepherds who saw the great light and who heard the angels singing. 
They hurried to the stable and found the Holy Babe lying in a manger. And they 
knelt down and thanked God for sending this wondrous gift to the world, the babe 
Jesus.

THERE were wise men, who came many miles to visit the Holy Child Jesus. 
They came because they saw a very bright star shining in the sky, brighter 
than any they had ever seen before. Night by night they journeyed towards the 
star, which at last led them to Bethlehem. It shone just above the stable where the 
baby Jesus lay. And the wise men, who were themselves princes and nobles, knelt 
at the feet of Mary and before the babe Jesus, in the humble stable home, and 
offered gifts to Jesus whom they were glad to honor as king.

^^ He loves all the peo-ple in the world. 1 

He sent Jesus to be the king of the world. 

Je-sus is the king of love. 
We should obey our king, 

And love him too. 
Herod ruled by hate, 
. And no one could love him. 
Jesus rules by love, 

And we all must love him.

We will bless and hon-or him for-ev-er.

NOW Herod, the wicked, cruel king, heard about the wise men who were asking 
where the young King of the Jews might be found. Herod was afraid lest 
it might be true that a new king had been born who would drive him from the 
throne. So he sent for the wise men to come to his beautiful palace, and asked 
them, should they find the baby King, to come back to Jerusalem to tell him where 
the kingly child might be found. 

Herod had a wicked wish in his heart to kill the young King. But when the 
wise men found Mary and the babe at Bethlehem, God sent an angel to tell them 
to go back to their own country by another way. An angel also came to Joseph in 
a dream, warning him that King Herod meant harm to the child Jesus, and telling 
him to go at once with Mary and their babe into the land of Egypt, — a country far 
away where Herod did not rule. Here they lived in safety until after the death of 
Herod.

TEACHER'S READING. 

JOSEPH, Mary, and the holy babe came back after the death of King Herod to 
live in their old home at Nazareth. When Jesus was twelve years old he went 
with his father and mother to Jerusalem to the feast of the passover. Here 
a great many people came from all parts of the world to the grand feast. It must 
have been like a wonder-world to a child who had lived in the quiet village of 
Nazareth. 

Not waiting to see the strange sights of the city, Jesus hurried to the temple, 
where the learned doctors were met. They talked of many things wisely and well, 
little thinking that the child Jesus, who stood in the midst of them, could under- 
stand their words. But the eager lad soon forgot all things, and spoke before them 
even more wisely than they. All were astonished at his words.

"\^7E can-not know all things ; 

Yet day by day, 

In God's own way, 
To us new truth he brings. 
If we to Je-sus turn 

And hum-bly ask, 

He'll give the task 
We dai-ly need to learn.

Jesus too was wise, 

Be-cause God taught him. 
God sent Jesus into the world 

To be the world's great teach-er. 
How can we learn of him ? 

We can read the Bi-ble. 
The Bible is the word of God. 

Better than all oth-er books. 
We will study its blessed pages, 

That we may learn how to live in the right way. 
We will love and praise God for Jesus the great teacher. 



PRAYER. 

\^/E come a-gain, dear Fath-er, to learn more of thee and of the 
bless-ed Je-sus whom thou didst send to teach us thy will 
and thy way. May we be will-ing to learn, try-ing each day to know 
more a-bout the right, and more will-ing to do well. As in our 
school and at our play we must choose eith-er the right or wrong, 
may we be like the bless-ed child Je-sus, sure to choose the right. 
We ask thy help and bless-ing to-day. For-give the wrong we have 
done, and make us read-y to do the right. A-men.

TEACHER'S READING. 

WHEN the feast was over, Joseph and Mary started on their way towards home. 
The crowd was very great, and they did not wonder that Jesus was not in 
sight. But as the day wore on, and the company grew small, they found that their 
dear child had been left behind. So they hurried back to Jerusalem, afraid that 
some harm had come to him. At last they found him at the temple, still staying 
with the wise doctors, both listening to them and asking them questions. 

The mother of Jesus came to him, asking why he had stayed behind. He could 
only plead that he must be doing God's work. He wished to stay longer ; but 
when he saw that his mother was grieved, he went with her willingly back to their 
home in Nazareth. 



READING IN UNISON. 

I" N the morn-ing we will greet him, 
Grate-ful for each new day lent; 
In the e-ven-ing we will meet him, 

Thank-ful for a day well spent, — 
Love him, serve him day by day, 
Walk-ing in God's heav'n-ly way.

^-*" Each one may do some-thing. 

Jesus was eager to begin God's work, 

E-ven when he was a child. 
No one is too young to begin God's work, 

E-ven the small-est child. 

To-day we will work for God. 

We will be kind to all. 

We will learn our les-sons well. 

We will love our teach-ers and mates. 

We will love God's day. 

We will praise his ho-ly name. 



PRAYER. 

A -GAIN we bow be-fore thee, dear Fath-er in heav-en, to 
thank thee for the light of this new day. May we spend 
it in do-ing thy good work. We are still young, and do not un- 
derstand well what we ought to do ; yet we may al-ways be kind 
and lov-ing to-wards all, and may help in lit-tle things to make our 
dear par-ents, our broth-ers and sis-ters and lit-tle mates hap-py. 
We thank thee for Je-sus, and what he is help-ing us to do. We 
will try to fol-low him, and serve thee well each day, and all 
through our lives. A-men.
